I hear this same statement come up in conversation a lot more recently. A lot of us agree that the news seems broken, though every time I have this conversation we can never find a good solution to the problem.

I had tried making a simple app to fix the problem. Simple NLP to group articles from different outlets. But I even find myself going back to the news feed and not using my own project.
